Scandal at the Tour! Tadej Pogacar pelted with chips
The 14th stage of the Tour de France was overshadowed by an unsportsmanlike action by a fan. A few kilometers before the finish, leader Tadej Pogacar was pelted with a packet of potato chips by a spectator.
While hundreds of cycling fans frenetically cheered the Slovenian overall leader on to his second stage win in the final kilometers, one man thought he had to throw his packet of potato chips in the 25-year-old's face. A stupid action in an otherwise fair sport ...
On X, the Tour de France strongly condemned the action. "In a world where you can be anything, don't be that stupid guy," it said under a video showing the action in question.
Two minutes ahead
And Pogacar? He didn't let the attack get him down and raced to stage victory unimpressed. In the overall classification, the two-time Tour winner now leads by just under two minutes ahead of Jonas Vingegaard, who improved to second place.
